During School

Each class has two regularly scheduled periods in the library during school hours, one in English and one in French. Students are also welcome to undertake independent reading or research after school.

After School

Library policy requires that all children be picked up by twenty minutes after school dismissal.

We cannot be responsible for children left to wait for parents in the Library - please make appropriate babysitting arrangements.

The school will be notified in the case of children being left unsupervised.

In the case of emergency, please call us to arrange for your child to wait longer.
